Little Hat Jones

Amoeba Review

02/11/2015

Comparing artists from different generations is difficult and often times a failed exercise. However, one artist's echoes can often be heard in the output of another. There is a musical link in the ether, albeit nebulous or downright embarrassing at times. Sometimes, this appears in the form of an obvious cover version or a more discreet nod buried in a song or lyric. If John Fahey or Bukka White has ever graced your ears or you've enjoyed the soundtrack to the film, Ghost World, then please listen to these Little Hat Jones tracks. This original 78 has a style that has reverberated through Blues and Folk music for decades and now into a new century. Raw and Essential.
